TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, JAMES WHAIT and WILLIAM WHAIT, of Independence,county of Buchanan, and State of Iowa, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Combined Sulky-Harrows and Cultivators; and we dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the some, reference being had to the annexed drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which-- Figure 1represents a. plan view, and

Figure 2 a side elevation.

The nature of our invention consists in the employment and combinationof certain devices, the peculiarities of which will be hereinafter fullyset forth.

A represents the axle, provided with wheels, and to which is secured theframe, consisting of pieces at cfg, ns'fully shown in fig. 1. Brepresents the cultivator, which may be constructed and arranged as seenin the Same figure. To the cross-pieceg the cultivator is hinged, inorder that it may be raised and its particular work suspended at anymoment occasion may require. 0 represents the burrow, which is also sosimilar in its construction to the ordinary barrow that a minutedescription is unnecessary. h h are levers, the peculiar shape of whichis seen in fig. 2. These levers are pivoted to the uprights a a. ii arecords, attached to the end of levers h h. Said cords pass over pulleysin the end of pieces df, and are connected to the harrow by means ofstaples. The front part of the harrow is attached to the piece or tongue0 by the cord m. b represents another lever, constructed similarly tothose just referred to, and is pivoted to an upright or piece or tongue,c. This lever is connected with the cultivator by means of cord 71 asseen in fig. 2. D represents the seat for the operator.

Thus it will be observed that we combine the working of a cultivator andharrow in one, while the operation of each may be suspended by means ofthe levers.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The cultivator B, harrow C, levers h h and b, and cords it and m, thewhole being combined and operated as and for the purpose set forth anddescribed.

In testimony whereof we set our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM WHAIT, JAMES WHAIT.
